HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – Providing sound reinforcement for the U.S. Open of Surfing always faces the challenge of Mother Nature supplying a healthy dose of water. The event's A1 mixer/sound designer, Gary Vahling, opted for Lectrosonics' waterproof technology to solve the problem.

NEW YORK – Returning as Live Sound co-chairs for the 131st AES Convention, Henry Cohen and Mac Kerr have once again put together a comprehensive program of live sound seminars in New York's Jacob Javits Convention Center Thursday, Oct. 20 through Sunday, Oct. 23.

ORANGEBURG, SC – As any church usher knows, it can be difficult to encourage worshippers to take the long walk down to the very front of the sanctuary and seat them in the first few pews. That challenge isn't made any easier when a sound system gives them more than an earful.

Templeton, president of Templeton Sound Systems, recently revitalized the sound system.

SAN JOSE, CA – Clear-Com's WBS 680 UHF analog wireless system was recently used by a non-profit theatrical organization Angels On Stage for show communications on their production of Disney's Aladdin. Angels On Stage gives children with Down Syndrome an opportunity to become performers in a fun, judgement free environment. For many of the "angels," this is their first time on stage, so it is important that the stage crew creates a safe environment to work and to relieve performers' anxiety.
